      Well, when you're dealing with the media, I think it's useful to distinguish between when you're being truthful & when you're having a lend. To be honest.

      Just imagine how useful it would be if Sheeds or the pollies started their truthful statements with a "TBH"?

      [Actually, I'm also a chronic TBH user. And I say "actually" too much as well now that I think about it.]

        I think he starts his sentences with "Look..." too often as well.

        Us men of few words are often hamstrung by our limited choice of conversation kick-starters, obviously!

        177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

          Does he still use terrific a lot?

          Being in Melbourne we get no swans coverage at all and i mean zip. So i havent heard a Roosy interview since last year.

          Nicks retirement was like a little 1 paragraph footnote.

              A message to the 3 people that voted "Ryan O'Keefe is a hotty," back OFF.
              Vicky Pollard: Oh my god I so can't believe you just said that this is like the time I threw Anita's nokia in the canal as a joke and she's like you have well got to buy me another one and I'm like get over it and then Paul came over who's adopted anyway and started saying that I fancy Mark Bennett but oh my god just because I have sex with someone doesn't mean I fancy them.

                  At least he doesn't use the common footy cliche 'Yeah, Nah'

                      He also rates each win as either the best of the season or the best since he's been coach of the club.

                        I'm not sure about the 'to be honest' thing, but I've always thought Roosy stresses strange words when he speaks.

                          yes, very strange emphasis and with a common lead of "you'd like to think that....". often mixes up his tenses.

                          i've been trying so hard lately to remove "yeah-no" from my vocabulary.
                          then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know
